Hip pain can make simple daily tasks like walking, climbing stairs, getting in and out of a chair, or enjoying hobbies difficult. Whether caused by arthritis, injury, or another orthopaedic condition, timely evaluation and treatment are essential to protecting mobility and quality of life.

At Mobility Bone & Joint Institute, our experienced orthopaedic providers evaluate and treat a wide range of hip conditions, offering conservative treatments and advanced surgical care when needed.

Common Hip Conditions

The hip is a ball-and-socket joint that supports body weight and allows smooth movement. Because it endures significant daily stress, it is vulnerable to various conditions, including:

• Hip osteoarthritis
• Hip bursitis
• Labral tears
• Hip fractures
• Tendon and muscle injuries
• Hip impingement (FAI)
• Avascular necrosis
• Sports-related hip injuries

Signs may include pain in the groin, hip, thigh, or buttock, stiffness, decreased range of motion, limping, or difficulty standing and walking. Early evaluation helps determine the cause and prevent symptom progression.

When Conservative Treatment Is Enough

Many hip conditions can be managed without surgery. Depending on your diagnosis, your provider may recommend:

• Physical therapy to improve strength and flexibility
• Anti-inflammatory medications
• Activity modification
• Weight management strategies
• Corticosteroid injections
• Assistive devices when appropriate

These treatments reduce pain, improve function, and help patients delay or avoid surgery.

When Hip Surgery May Be Recommended

If traditional treatments no longer provide relief, surgery may be the best option to restore mobility and reduce pain. Hip surgery may be recommended for patients experiencing:

• Severe arthritis causing chronic pain
• Significant joint damage
• Hip fractures
• Progressive loss of mobility
• Persistent pain that interferes with daily activities or sleep

Surgical options may include minimally invasive procedures, hip preservation techniques, or total hip replacement. Your orthopaedic specialist will discuss the treatment plan that best fits your needs and lifestyle goals.

Pain is not a normal part of aging. Delaying treatment can allow joint damage to worsen, leading to decreased mobility and more complex treatment in the future.
